I have to confess, I truly
hate to get out and to the pool in the mornings. I’m such a lazy old lady. If given a choice, I will stay home and
vegetate over my computer. I’ll make
endless excuses, I’ll complain, find perfectly logical reasons to stay home,
and finally I jolly myself downstairs and into the car or truck.
I’ve been very careful
with my endless excuses this week. I
want to keep my blood sugar down in normal range. If I don’t get my rear out of the computer
chair and into the water, I’ll get out of the doctor’s comfort range at
lightning speed. Care because of last
weeks excuse, that torn muscle. So I
walk slowly. I do all the stretches
gently. I keep moving for the first
twenty minutes, then I join the aerobics class.
Gently. By the time I am headed
to the hot tub…twenty minutes before the rest of the class, I’m beginning to
feel good. By afternoon, as the sun
slides down through the fog bank, I’m feeling guilty about my morning
self-centered laziness.
It’s evening now. I’ve read two good Journalists articles about
Trump, G took me out to dinner, where I ate too much, and I have a new book
next to my bed. I’m feeling really good. Silly me.
I get to fight myself again tomorrow morning.
Inspiring. Perhaps I'll get out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm dogged. If you go to your pool, you will have twice the energy in a couple of days. :)
DeleteI'm badly out of the exercise habit, and before you know it, I'll be lamenting that I should've been walking every night after work when the sun didn't set so early. :(
ReplyDeleteYou are doing amazingly well as I sit here and veg.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are managing to stay on the right side of the line! I'm OK on the blood suger, too, holding steady. We have so much yardwork of late, and it's been hot, so I haven't been exercising as a separate activity. We do manage an evening walk, usually. When it gets a bit cooler I'll go back to once a week yoga and swimming.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to do your exercises. I do mine at home each morning, and sometimes things get too busy in the morning and I just shove the activity off until later, but I really must keep doing them as that is what helps my spinal stenosis and sciatica. My exercises border on yoga, though, so not much cardio involved.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing what exercises you do for your sciatica and stenosis? I have both and am just out of a pain cycle that took me to the chiropractors three times in a week. Thanks, Tehachap (Aka Carol, a friend of Mage's).
